A California bike mob ransacked three separate 7-Eleven stores in under 20 minutes just hours after Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a “landmark” package to crack down on retail thefts.

Approximately 20 bicycling riding thieves targeted the Hollywood area convenience stores two miles apart on Friday night, according to NBC Los Angeles, citing the LAPD.

The brazen bunch broke into each store and stole food and drink items beginning with the 7-Eleven located at 7040 West Sunset Boulevard just after 8 p.m.

The store was left with a broken window.

An employee at a second store near Hollywood Blvd and Highland Ave. was allegedly assaulted around 8:16 p.m., the outlet reported.

The actual purpose of the "landmark" legislation is to hinder/complicate overturning the 2014 idiocy Proposition 47 in the November election.

Hollywood is in Los Angeles County, whose DA is the soft-on-crime George Gascon. The only risk these thuglings face are worse thugs and armed property owners who are too fed up with crime to care about Gascon.
